How to write an image file on server?

Question

Hello,

I have a silverlight 3 app using webservices, which uploads an image to server. Then, on server, I resize this image (using EmguCV) and I want to save this image on the server filesystem. The resulting image is created with the size (500px max in one dimension) and saved to 'C:\ ...". This is all working well when debugging in asp dev server. On iis this is not working properly. Probably, this has to do with permissions and web.config, but I can't find the answer. Any help would be great.

regards

When you run IIS, you are running as a different user that might not have permission. It depends on the version of IIS, but it's usually ASPNET. Information here on how to change it if you want.

If you are using impersonation, then it would be trying to write as the impersonated user.

If you leave it ASPNET (you probably should) -- then just give it permission to write to this directory.
